Over thirty years I have acquired a broad understanding of the Upstream Energy Sector and developed strong and trusted client relationships. Through working for both emerging and established technology and service companies I have the experience to articulate value and promote solutions that deliver results.
I am able to provide balanced recommendations prior to implementing business development or sales strategies. I have developed good negotiating, interpersonal and communication skills and I have a proven track record in business development and sales.
I am based in the UK, and have extensive experience working in Northern and Western Europe as well as the Middle East and North Africa, with some experience in Sub-Saharan Africa and parts of South East Asia.
